<DIV>Running Red Hat 8 on 2.4.18-14 and downloaded the newest Samba release
version 2.2.8a and set up the install (./configure, make, make install).
Then I copied the smb.conf file into the /usr/local/samba/lib directory, started
up the smbd and nmbd daemons using the -D option. I added the swat 901/tcp
to the /etc/services file and because RH uses xinetd I made a /etc/xinetd.d/swat
"service" file like this:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>service swat</DIV>
<DIV>{</DIV>
<DIV>port = 901</DIV>
<DIV>socket_type = stream</DIV>
<DIV>wait = no</DIV>
<DIV>only_from = 127.0.0.1</DIV>
<DIV>user = root</DIV>
<DIV>server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat</DIV>
<DIV>log_on_failure += USERID</DIV>
<DIV>}</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also added the word "swat" to the /etc/xinetd.d file so that the machine
knows its a service and chmoded the /usr/local/samba/swat directory as
755. Did all this setup as root and when I go into X and use either
Konquer or Mozilla and goto localhost:901 I get the username/password prompt,
but nothing I type in ever gets to the page. I type in username root and
then my password and I get a 401 bad password error. Anything I type in
gets me a 401 bad password error page. Help!!! Is there some way I
can change the configuration to get to the main SWAT page or is there a new user
name/password that I'm not getting?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I set up samba in Linux sysadmin class (RH 7.2, 2.2.18 kernel) this
was never a problem? Any one good with samba that has ever run into
this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>TIA</DIV>
